Jeff Hardy Eyes CM Punk Feud Revival, Reflects on Wrestling Legacy

ORLANDO, Fla. — Wrestling icon Jeff Hardy, a veteran of the ring since his WWE debut in 1994, recently expressed his desire to reignite his storied rivalry with CM Punk. During an appearance on the “Insight” podcast, Hardy reflected on his career and the possibility of revisiting one of wrestling’s most memorable feuds.

“The reality is, it could happen,” Hardy said. “Our feud, man, I still get so many compliments on that with people that are adults now. ‘Oh man, you and Punk, that feud was amazing.’ Even in AEW, I felt like there was a moment for me and Punk — at least with some kind of faceoff or uncomfortable [moment] with us running into each other backstage, but we never got to do that.”

Hardy, now 46, joked about retiring CM Punk and entering the WWE Hall of Fame. “I just said that thinking I was being funny,” he added. “But yeah, ultimately, I would love to revisit that feud in some way. CM Punk is such a superpower in the pro wrestling game.”

Hardy also addressed his personal journey, including his struggles with sobriety. “If Jeff Hardy getting sober made him an a**hole, heel Jeff Hardy against the one and only popular CM Punk, I feel like that’s completely possible,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jey Uso, another wrestling star, shared his gratitude for the overwhelming support he received during the premiere episode of WWE RAW on Netflix. Uso defeated Drew McIntyre in a singles match at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. “From the bottom, I just appreciate it every night, Uce,” Uso said. “I look at it like it’s new to me every single night. I don’t take nothing for granted.”

Hardy’s career spans over three decades, with countless matches and championships under his belt. His potential feud with CM Punk could bring a fresh twist to his storied legacy, while Uso continues to rise as a fan favorite in the wrestling world.
